I may have outgrown my Espresso machine. Don’t get me wrong, I love my current system with its simplicity, its ease and the great coffee. I guess I’m yearning for more control of the coffee bean, the flow of the water, the extraction, the temperature, the capacity, etc. – in short, a perfect cup of espresso for all my perfect guests, all at the perfect time.

I’ve been looking at the various espresso machines and it looks like The La Pavoni has it all – it’s the best of the best, the “Crema de la Crema” if ou will. The La Pavoni is a great choice.

Anyhow, one of my main complaints about my current system is its inability to produce volume. I throw lots of parties and when it comes to the final course of the evening, desserts and espresso, by the time I get to the last guest (usually me), the first guests (usually my brothers) are already asking for another cup. Sheez.

So the good news is that a couple of websites, especially this one, have all the answers to my questions about the next step up. With the amount of money I’m considering shelling out for the next step up, I’m not taking this investment lightly. I want the best advice, with the best follow-up service.

And this website is definitely one of the “Crema de la Crema”. Heh, heh, barista humor.
